Yes indeed, Lou Ann. For Virginians, those were in Kentucky which was still part of Virginia at that time (until 1792). But you didn't need to be a Rev. War soldier to move there, or to take up land. It was more likely one would simply sell their bounty warrant to someone else, who would sell it to someone else, and so on. Kentucky to this day is land title nightmare. It's a complicated subject, to say the least. The land warrants are in Virginia, but the land is in Kentucky. A mess.

Here is probably a stupid question.. but did all those who fought during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 receive bounty land warrents?
